A few weeks ago I was at my dealer and walked up to the parts guy to talk about missing parts for my 2022 Outer Banks,. A senior, 20 year, Ford parts counter guy told me there was no engine cover in the system for the 1.5L. He also could not find the hood insulator -- for "lower trims" like...

Driver mats have a “button” (or pair of buttons) on the floor to keep the carpet from sliding onto to the top of the pedals. Cheap. Genius. Saves lives. A friend mine who is an idiot and drives a black bronco sport bought the awesome Weathertech driver side laser-molded floor mat. He...

CHECK YOUR CARPET. People have died over carpet sliding around the pedals. Especially if you have third party mats. It is so easy to snap in those Weathertech’s on top of a pedal

No. But a few years ago I asked my service manager about the replacement Tanaka air bag (infamous recall) was in. Service dude: “Probably 90 days.. we will call you when it’s in”. me: “ I am taking my kids camping this weekend. I am concerned …” Service dude: “ Go see Tammy over there”...

In this diagram of the engine cover and required parts there is a "part no 4". Is that the bracket?

Soo.. does the addition of the Engine cover and the hood insulation make your drive better? (Quieter? Hood less vibration, etc..)

I pay extra on insurance to get OEM glass.. A few scary thoughts.. Do you have one of those factory installed cameras behind your windshield? hidden by rear view mirror assembly?) I sure hope that new glass will not reduce or eliminate front end impending collision, or Assist+ lane...

Long ago I was getting ready to take “the mini van” (2003 Honda Odyssey) with my kids camping for the weekend out in the country. I asked the Honda dealer when my Tanaka airbag would be in. He pointed me to a lady sitting at a desk at the dealership. She just loaned me another van for free...

Just got mine today. I was headed to Ford dealer to have my missing parts installed and bailed on the way. I realized they might keep my Bronco Sport locked up. It could be worse. A recall last summer on Excursion and Lincoln Navigator (?) instructed owners not to park near any...

After waiting a few months for a dealer allotment, my sales person called me and said "you won't believe it. We had a porter delivery today and a custom order came in for my customer. I was surprised when TWO of them came off. Would you like to buy it today?" I ran to the dealership and got...

Glad you got this fixed. I haven't read this entire thread but wanted to mention the "engine light is on. Why?" issue (for 99% of the time -- but not yours) Years ago the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) set into place a law to control leakage of "climate harming" gas and liquids from...

No I don't remember that one. I do remember I couldn't take my Saturn to a Chevy/Buick/GMC/Cadillac garage for service. This one is memorable.. Elon Musk Unbreakable Glass Demonstration

Just for reference .. here is The actual recall from the NHTSA. The “Delivery Hold” part is not good. This is not affecting Badlands - only 3 cylinder 1.5L engines built during the time periods called out Specifically In this document. You should get a notice from Ford if you already own one...

Here is how you can best find out. There is a Ford dealership near Kansas City named Long McArthur Ford. An employee named Tim Bartz loves to talk about the process of ordering Ford vehicles, News about Ford etc. He is on this board occasionally. His name is Tim Bartz.. the “Ford Video...

Here is a two door with Sasquatch on the lot (I assume). They have 3 Broncos, but all have the green window sticker (SPECIAL ORDER). So I would expect they are not available -- but the boiler plate description says they are for sale (see below the picture). They also have a Badlands ($49,555...

They are too big to fail. The banks that own the inventory would not allow this. This scenario (allowing creditor banks to work it out to keep business going) is why chapter 11 exists.

Hard to not think about Carvana. Did you have any trouble getting a title? My 30 year dream is a 2 Door Bronco. My dealer “dangled” a Christmas Ford clearance email. They showed 3 Broncos on the lot at MSRP. One or two 2023. Modles. A Sasquatch under 50k. Other sites showed $10,000 markup...

Our friends over in the Waiting Room have a pebble of proof that 2L Badlands are showing up but 1.5L models are being sent to parking lots. Folks, if even one of these 100,000’s of cars (Escape, Bronco Sport, 1,5L Maverick?) catches on fire and makes the news, we could end up like the...

I went in CarMax in person. The Bronco Sport was pristine. Unused Mats. 5600 miles. XPel wrapped hood and fenders. CarMax offered $33,000. This is a 2022 Outer Banks. I can't find a used 2021 Outer Banks for sale less than $37,000 Maybe I will try AutoTrader. Where can I get the...

You can't make this stuff up. Ford cannot legally deliver a 1.5L model of the Bronco Sport, but they are in a crush to book orders for the 2023 model before New Year.. December 16, 2022 FORD AUTHORITY - Alexandra Purcell FORD BRONCO SPORT DISCOUNT OFFERS UP TO $1,000 OFF IN DECEMBER 2022 Ford...
